  • Wur2nd Wur MAX (@Wur2nd) reported

    Tried overwatch 2 and it's interesting, but the online is super hit or miss, wonder if they don't have South America servers or something I have 50 mbps it should be more than enough to not have lag

    The positive of the current atmosphere... I don't care about the Overwatch glitch because I'm thinking about SF6. I don't care what's going on with Avengers because I'm thinking about SF6. I don't care about any other game because I'm thinking about SF6.

  • monstaklass_ depressed doll🏳️‍⚧️ (@monstaklass_) reported

    Not overwatch having issues locking characters again

  • stanhoraczek Stan Horaczek (@stanhoraczek) reported

    I was really excited for Overwatch 2, but it’s been such a bad experience so far. The matchmaking is awful, the ranking system is opaque, I really dislike the robot levels (personal taste), and it has been constant technical issues that prevent me from using stuff I paid for. Sad

  • comfy_ghost かぐや姫 🌙 (@comfy_ghost) reported

    i think most people have been patient with overwatch’s bugs and defects but seriously how do they try to fix things and then break something else… consistently

  • radicalseabies 👻 SPOOKIES 👻 (@radicalseabies) reported

    overwatch 2 is so ******* funny man.. they announced they were taking bastion and torb out of play temporarily to fix bugs or w/e but instead they accidentally locked out most of the cast for a large amount of players hdfbd i just logged in to check and its happened to me too

  • star_Kelpiee Kelpie🏹🍂🧡// ENVtuber (@star_Kelpiee) reported

    @Miss_MaddyLu Luckily I am a mercy/kiriko Main but ******* hell fix your game overwatch

  • Onikiitty Kaiju (@Onikiitty) reported

  • XCurvyBarbieX X CurvyBarbie X (@XCurvyBarbieX) reported

    2nd game ever on overwatch 30k 6d dont believe me watch stream if DVA is not broken then idk what is .. (I love her tho I guess lol)

  • Karmacarnivore Karmasaur (@Karmacarnivore) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey while you are doing that can you also look into an issue with purchasing skins with legacy credits? Tried to get the punker queen skin. It ate my coins and now says I have to buy it with the gold Overwatch coins.

  • AfghanMeatman Yeah (@AfghanMeatman) reported

    Anybody else on Overwatch 2 just repeatedly getting LS-202 and LS-423 errors for no reason? Servers still suck

  • Chrismas95 Chris Smith (@Chrismas95) reported

    @Wur2nd I wonder if it has to do with the rough launch in general. Lots of players, DDOS attacks, characters being taken out for fixes, glitches like the current one where Overwatch 1 players not having all the heroes... I wouldn't be surprised if the game itself is just unstable.

  • FredSmith914 Fred Smith (@FredSmith914) reported

    Loving Overwatch being broken in a specific way that means nobody can play any of the healers I don't like working with. Please don't fix it.

  • DESERTCLAW007 MR.W-007 (@DESERTCLAW007) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch YOU people are just lost Fixing things n make more bugs The game was perfect OW1 was so perfect, what did you do to that perfect game bad choice to make it free, after I make every hero with gold gun even the 3 new heros i stuck on the LC-208 error This is really bad Overwatch 2

  • SirToddIII Todd (@SirToddIII) reported

    Overwatch? More like buggy broken game that was rushed lol

  • MisterComatosed MisterComatose (@MisterComatosed) reported

    The stream almost had no problems until it was the last match of the night. Oh Overwatch

  • Yoerdius Yoerdius (@Yoerdius) reported

    Is the NA Server in Overwatch 2 just ****** or are they just crybaby's? Cause my entire TL is full of them complaining about problems that haven't been happening since the second day of launch. Like I'm over here with 1 1/2minute queues on Tank, no bugs, acc transfer worked etc.

  • NrgWeapon 🜏 GREY 🜏 (@NrgWeapon) reported

    @VectorASpecter Log out, log back in. Usually fixes the issue, if not give it a bit, it worked for us; Unless you don't own the original Overwatch, then you may be out of luck.

  • johnmcrston Emrys 🖋 (@johnmcrston) reported

    i find it genuinely hilarious how i didn't have an issue with heroes being locked in overwatch until they tried to fix it.

  • pewpewwhew Mocha (@pewpewwhew) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Give me a refund for all the money I ever put into this game this **** sucks. Every single day since launch there’s been a problem not letting people play and it’s literally the exact same game as overwatch 1 how are there this many problems

  • Jetpack_gg Deadpack 🎃 (@Jetpack_gg) reported

    I was going to stream Overwatch 2 tonight, but I can't login. T_T

  • quesofilo ‏ً (@quesofilo) reported

  • chaedolIi cai saw dpr (@chaedolIi) reported

    why is overwatch not working again

  • Brianthe12th Brian12 (@Brianthe12th) reported

    Tried to play Overwatch 2 earlier but kept getting an error message tryna log in so I figured it had to do with the server maintenance. Tried again just now and I got in. Aaand most of the characters are locked again 🙃

  • S0ulPriv 🎃Ghostie (Luigi Lover) 🎃 (commissions open 2/5) (@S0ulPriv) reported

    Since I'm currently going through the locked heros glitch on Overwatch 2 I've been playing Zarya instead of Genji

  • n00bywarrior None of My Biases are Safe (@n00bywarrior) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have been understanding of every glitch and mess up so far until this. How is this glitch even possible? It's not a complicated system, it only locks these heroes for players who haven't played Overwatch 1. It is LITERALLY BINARY. How can you possibly mess this up so bad?

  • ImJustAGent GΣΠT (@ImJustAGent) reported

    @Cricketnation soooo, you guys hear about this whole Overwatch 2 problem with @Blizzard_Ent?😬😬

  • ButcherBunnyTTV Butcher Bunny (@ButcherBunnyTTV) reported

    My Overwatch 2 experience: >Could not verify account >Account locked due to suspicious activity >Connection timed out, placing back in queue Every time I try to log in I get a randomized error lol.

  • Tick89210125 Tick (@Tick89210125) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch I just got on and I have had the account merge glitch but this time it said complete but i don’t got my stuff from overwatch 1 I’m not sure if it is a glitch or I merge the wrong account
